I signed up for the New York City addition of Blogcadamy this week, and couldn’t be more excited.
I spent a lot of time on Dribbble this week and this one shot particularly stood out- I love the hand-drawn type and photography.
I loved the post Miss Moss did on artist Katrin Coetzer this week and her “Honeymoon” series.
I liked listening to this playlist over on Grown-Up Shoes.
Enjoy the weekend!

One of the most fascinating things I stumbled upon this week: The Most Detailed (and illegal) Picture of the Internet.
I’ve been fascinated by Vine ever since it came out, as a fun way to tell stories with moving images (still haven’t quite mastered it myself) so reading this story this week really inspired me!
I was in New Orleans this past week for the annual Jazz Festival and was fascinated by the city. I came across these great vintage photographs taken in the 1930′s of Mardi Gras in New Orleans
I love house/apt. tours of any kind. I really enjoyed this post on Design Sponge of designer Jessica Walsh’s apartment.

One of my favorite online discoveries this week: Jourrrnal, a Dribbble interview platform where beginners can study the approaches of designers.

I’ve been really enjoying reading Nubby Twiglet’s Blog Log- a new column dedicated to the art of blogging.
This is my jam. I’m so glad Miss Moss decided to continue making music mixes, (she did threaten to stop a few months back!).

Fashion Week is over and I think I heard a big collective sigh of relief all across the city today. Now we all need a vacation. Good thing a three day weekend is on it’s way.
I found this article on successful facebook marketing campaigns really interesting. There a lot of great case studies here.

Swiss Modernism and Punk Rock… together at last! Check it out here
Forty Story: Portfolio View. The Forty Story is a phenomenal portfolio video from Pentagram. Rather than use the standard “This is our work, this is what we do” format, they’ve constructed a narrative based around a boy born on the day Pentagram opened, and how his life has paralleled forty years of Pentagram design. It’s really interesting and completely engaging.
I love Garance Doré’s Pardon My French pieces. This week she interviews Stella McCartney!
I have a weird (aesthetic) obsession with vintage-looking fridge’s…. so naturally I liked SF Girl By Bay’s post here
